Miami, Florida, May 4th, 2026, Chainwire For decades, the DeLorean has meant something to people. It’s a car, yes, but more than that, it’s a symbol. Of the future. Of rebellion. It’s the degen car, with the gullwing doors, embedded forever in pop culture. But more than that, it represents the idea that something ordinary could become extraordinary. That meaning has always belonged to the culture, not to any single owner.  Today, it’s not too far from reality. DeLorean Labs, the official Web3 arm of the DeLorean Motor Company, is bridging its native token $DMC to Solana, with support from…

Carrot, a Solana-based DeFi yield protocol, announced its permanent shutdown on April 30, 2026, after losing approximately $8 million in total value locked, roughly half its TVL – to the fallout from the April 1 Drift Protocol exploit that drained an estimated $285 million from one of Solana’s largest perpetual futures platforms. Carrot was not directly hacked. It was taken down by a protocol it depended o, and that distinction is what makes this story more than a routine exploit summary. Users have until May 14, 2026, to voluntarily withdraw funds from Carrot’s three core products. After that deadline, the…

Ondo (ONDO) is trading near a critical psychological support zone, with intraday action including a retest of resistance above $0.26. The token is poised at these levels as on‑chain activity around tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracts institutional and retail capital. However, with prices pegged in a narrow range below $0.30 since early February, could the broader real‑world asset (RWA) sector growth buoy ONDO? Ondo Finance powers access to…
